Hey, Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and I so happy we get to do
this one...more...time.
Sony have just dropped our first proper look at the Into The Spider-verse sequel and throughout
this video we're gonna be breaking it down. Giving our thoughts on it and also talking
about everything you need to know about the movie.
There might be some spoilers here so if you wanna go into the movie without knowing anything
then I missed the part where that's my problem. Don't forget to give us a thumbs up and also
make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into the breakdown.
Ok so the upcoming movie is due to release on October 7th 2022 and though the movie is
still shrouded in some mystery there are a lot of things that we can piece together from
the clues that we've been given. The film has been worked on for 3 years now and you
might remember that we actually got a teaser video for it all the way back in November
2019.
It's wild thinking about all the stuff that's happened since then and just as a quick refresher
of that it basically showed logos that teased all the versions of Spider-man that could
be showing up.
This included Miles Morales, potentially Spirit Spider, the 90s cartoon one, Penny Parker,
Silk Moon, Japanese Spider-man, secret wars, Spider-gwen who will be voiced by Hailee Steinfeld,
Ben Reilly who you'll probably know as being a clone of Peter Parker and Spider-Man 2099.
Now if you cast your mind back to the ending of the last movie then you'll probably remember
that it involved Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-man 2099. Using a device that actually allowed
him to travel through the multiverse he visited the 1960s timeline so I actually think that
he might be the one who pulls everyone together. In the first movie everyone was glitching
out and this meant that they had a countdown on them but if he's got a device that stops
this it'll allow them all to interact without having to worry about that. Most sequels tend
to forget the rules set up in the first movie which is why we've had like 10 Terminator
films even though they said no more time travelling in the first one so I do kinda hope they just
have a device that stops that.
Now why I think that's gonna be the case is that in the first look we can see Gwen wearing
this when she enter's Miles room. This can be made out on her wrist and it would also
explain how she's able to jump across the spider-verse at will. When we cut to the action
shot from the first look we can also catch Spider-man 2009 busting it out too as he catches
Miles and jumps across into another reality.
This device says 928 and just incase you don't know, earths in the Marvel universe are given
designations like this. For example the main timeline is 616 but other realities are divided
up into other numbers.
In the comics Earth 928 is actually a possible future of Earth 616 which has broken out into
a war between humans and mutans. Though the mutants had all the cool powers in this reality,
the humans actually won because we're number one, we're number one.
Now this reality is also the home of Spider-man 2099 so it makes sense that he'd travel here
as his first stop as it's his home.
I really hope that this reality pops up more in the movie and it's not just somewhere that
we hop through like the one that proceeds it. I think if it does then averting this
war could end up being one of the plot points in the movie. With it being a possible future
a Spider-man from the future aka Miguel could end up showing Miles this reality before making
it clear to him why they have to do everything in their power to stop this coming to fruition.
However going beyond that it could be taking place post war which is when Spider-man 2099
really rose to power and he set out on a mission to stop Doctor Doom who could end up being
the main villain.
Now the clip itself starts right where Into The Spider-verse ended with Spider-Gwen opening
up a portal between her Earth and Miles. We actually get the classic Meanwhile in another
universe text transitioning into Gwens colours during this to foreshadow her dropping in.
This clip was actually shown at Comicon XP in Brazil and the creative team behind it
said that though this takes place immediately after the events of the movie there's actually
been a year between the main plot of the prior film.
This is why Miles actually looks slightly older than he did in Into The Spider-verse
which I think is a really nice touch. He's also back at home and you might remember that
in the last film he had a dorm room which also explains how he's able to get grounded.
I think its hilarious how all the stuff from his room is floating around above his head
and he grabs his tight whities to hide them from Gwen.
Behind her we can see the hexagonal shape that later pops up as a tunnel when Miles
travels across the multiverse and as we know from Wandavision, hexagons are very important.
They were also used in films like Guardians of The Galaxy and Captain Marvel to display
where a Jump point is so I love that the movie has brought them back here too as they're
basically a building block of the universe.
Now as we jump into the scene we can see a comic book floating around and this has Miles
face on it with the tag line, 'saved the multiverse now what.' Comics were of course used in the
first movie to fill in backstories and i love that miles now has his own one.
At the panel the creative team said that miles has discovered just how lonely it is keeping
the secret about who he is from the people he loves which I definitely feel here.
As Gwen drops in we can also catch a photo of miles and his uncle Aaron who of course
died in the last movie. Aaron was the prowler and he very much provided miles with an uncle
ben type origin story that inspired him to go on and be better.
Now in this scene Gwen is very much recruiting Miles to go on a big mission with her across
the multiverse and there are other hints to many spider people showing up in his room.
For example we get a lot of Japanese iconography such as a pokemon card that flips around in
his room and ontop of his chest of drawers we can also catch a mech. Japanese Spider-man
actually has his own mech and you can also spot some power ranger type figures.
Just below them we can also catch the spider-mobile from the comics which hopefully means we are
getting some form of the 616 version back like a Peter B Parker.
Gwen opens up Miles sketch book and inside of it she sees a sketch of herself however
going beyond that we can also catch a bus ticket which I believe is the one that Peter
and Miles bought in the movie when travelling out to the science lab.
Gwen tries to get Miles to come with her by saying that he's grounded but Spider-man isn't.
From here we transition into Spider-man travelling through the multiverse showing that she got
him.
We also see that he has a slightly different suit and instead of having webbing on it this
one doesn't. I do kinda like the webbing on the first one but I like this design as well
and maybe they just kept the render simpler for the computers as we're gonna be getting
a lot of Spider-people. This movie is gonna be titled across the spider-verse and that's
because Miles will be going into other realities this time instead of staying in his own.
Now it's not long after before Miles drops into a universe that we don't learn too much
about but there are indeed some clues there.
As Miles drops in we get some brief text pop up and shoutouts to Sanil Shah for confirming
that this is Hindi. As Miles drops further into the world we can also catch someone on
a billboard and it is possible that this is hinting towards Spider-Man India popping up.
However we don't spend that much time in this reality as Miguel O'Hara shows up and grabs
Miles. I love how the sound effects are in Hindi too and even though this pops up on
screen for less than a second it shows how much attention to detail the animators were
putting into the film.
From here we jump into 928 and there's a lot of Spanish writing on all of the signs and
Miguel himself is half Irish and half Mexican so i really like this touch. I absolutely
love the way that Miguel webs onto Miles and he almost has an omega beam like webbing to
his design here. It just looks so cool and it's great watching them jump across from
dimension to dimension collecting different characters. It just looks so cool and I actually
have a theory that in this scene Miles ended up getting lost in the multiverse as we can
see that he doesn't have a device on his wrist. Perhaps this was taken from him or something
but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say that Miguel is probably saving him from being lost
in another reality and he's launching a rescue attempt to bring him into his universe so
that they can put their plan together to stop whatever is going on.
It's an awesome first look and I really enjoyed getting up at 3am this morning to do this
video for you, even though you wont bloody thumbs up it, god I hate you.
Now as for my thoughts on the movie, I'm so hyped and that first film was an absolute
classic so I can't wait to watch this next one. When I first saw it I really enjoyed
it but I think over time it's actually gotten better and better and better.
I'm really hoping that they can recapture what made that first film so good and if they
add in all these other versions of Spider-Man it's gonna be something amazing. I think Into
The Spider-verse really inspired Marvel to start opening up the multiverse and it's definitely
influenced a lot of the future directions that franchises are going.
Can't wait to watch it and obviously I'd love to hear your thoughts on the brand new look
so make sure you comment below and let me know.
